Soave - Ilatium

Ilatium's Soave DOC is the everyday wine of a winery that produces some of the most ambitious and rare wines of Valpolicella and Soave. If Amarone Due Mori and Recioto Sette Dame are the wines for special occasions, this Soave is what the owners of Ilatium serve at the table every evening - Veronese white wine in its most genuine, fresh, and immediate expression.

Made from Garganega grapes grown on the volcanic and limestone soils of the Soave DOC area, it is fermented in stainless steel at a controlled temperature to preserve all the variety's aromatic freshness. The ageing is brief - just enough time to stabilize the wine without losing the typical fragrance of young Garganega - and the wine is bottled while preserving its fresh, straightforward nature.

On the nose, it is delicate and inviting: white flowers, peach, fresh almond, citron, and a subtle mineral hint. On the palate, it is fresh and light, with lovely natural savoriness, lively acidity, and a clean finish with floral and almond notes. It does not seek the complexity of Calle or the depth of Suavia's Monte Carbonare - it seeks immediate drinkability, purity of fruit, and that "another glass" sensation that only well-made Soave can provide.

Ideal as an everyday aperitif, a light companion to summer meals, and the perfect introduction to the world of Ilatium for those who do not know it yet.
